SAY BUL6ARS FEAR DEAD.
Sarviana Ara Pauring into Italy Now, Many Laava Thair Wivaa at Homa ta Car* For tho Farma, Confidant of Rotuming to Thoir Nativo Country by Spring.
Tbere la pathetic faith in tbe tbou- ¦anda of Servian refugees who are pouring into Italy Keeking work and bread.
"We shall be home again next April," they say simply. What is more, they believe It. Most have come witbout a cent Their possessions they left at bome—bkldeu. You would be aston¬ ished to hear where they Ile—away from the gaze of Bulgar or German. They tell you, *n that slmfAe way they have, of huge pieces of bacon they hare buried underneath "middens." Their most l>^^oloUH things—money, for insta u<-e—they have hiddeu away In the cemeteries between graves.
"The Bulgiirs ure afraid to touch the dead," they explain.
In general, they fear the Bulgars more than they do the Germans.
"The Germans are calculating; the Bulgars are wild beasts," they say. Under Enomieo' Foet. All along that calvary between Bel¬ grade nnd Monastir are hidden the earthly pussesslons of these people- money boxes,'salted meat, barrel.s of sirup, coal and flour. They have chosen the beaten track on puriiose, becau.se the more frequented a road Is the less llkel.v are the invaders to search the earth under it, and suoh hiding places are easiest found—next April. With their peasauts' memories they will remember the exact sjiot. They have not bidden a slugle treasure under their homes or churches. Some have chosen thc middle of the desolate market place, between two trees or the very edge of the muddy, unpaved street or near a horse pond, because all who- enter that village or town will use that pond, aud not une mun will think to dig the trodden soil around It for hidden treasure, be It francs or flour. More often they chose open country, on their own little farms. In some ditch marketl by a big stone or on which the shadow falls flrst at sun¬ down.
"We Shall Find Them Again." "Now the snow has come and cov¬ ered it all up. But lu April the snow will melt, and we .shall flnd our things again," they say, with the «iulet cheer fulness of the Slav.
Mauy families have left some mem¬ ber behind to Ict tho invaders sweep over them like waves «»f a tempestu¬ ous sea, leaving thom where they found tbem. and most of those who have stopped behind are women. The men will l^o wanted to rejoin that army that is jjatherlng again in Al bania. Women keep the secret of thl)- hldden treasure nnd may be trusted uot to touch It till tho family coine> back. .Knii a Serb leaves his wife be hind In preference to his mother or daughter. The lust two might be ill treated by the enemy, but the wife aft¬ er twenty is like auother muu. lit foi the camp uud ready to flght too, So few of the Servian refugees now in Italy have bronght their wives.
"They are watching things at home, they tell you confidently.
And the husband knows that the wife win set to and till the soil the moment It is free of the Invader.

"The must vital question in America today la individual preparedness," be said, "not individual preparedness for war, but individual pre|)arednes8 for anything that may come—individual preparedness to live useflil, steadfast lives for the l)eneflt nf hu4iaulty aud poeterity."
Mr. Straus declared that uue person of every teu who dies In and of the large cities Is buried iu a potter's field.
"Statistics show that in the United States tbero are only 108 who ^uve money oat of every 1,000 population." he added. "This compares witb 5.''>4 in Switxerland."

The celebration of baby week throughout the eoontry by holding eountlesB meetinjca to discuss subjeets \ directly bearing on the eaving of life and bettering the health of infants. Is a wonderful demonstration of the growing popular Interest in a matter pf such vital Importance to the pres- ient and future welfare of the nation. Wherever educational campaigns have been widely conducted, the death rate among infants invariably falls. In New Tork State outside of New York City, within the last two years, due to an active baby welfare campaign conducted by the State de¬ partment of health, the death rate has fallen from 120 for each 1000 births In 1913 to below 100 in 1915. In other words, nearly 2000 lives under one year of age were saved during the paet year, and all because mothers have been told how to care for their babies.
We ail know the care, not always wisely directed, that all members of the family lavish on the latest ar¬ rival. "Nothing too good for the baby," seems to be the motto of most households, and that is one great rea¬ son for the success of baby welfare campaigns.
The eaving of infant lives is of the utmost importance, but not less Im¬ portant to the family, to the com¬ munity, to the nation, to the baby it¬ self, in the years to come is a sus¬ tained physical and mental growth, fostered by intelligent care. Weak¬ lings are usually a burden to them¬ selves and those aliout them, and the seeds of physical weakness are too often planted in the years of early childhood.
From the third year to school age the physical needs of childhood have not received from health authorities the attention that its importance de¬ serves, and It is partly for this rea¬ son, no doubt, that the recently be¬ rl bboned and carefully tended infant ia so often allowed to shift more or 1p>s« for itself during this period of life. "He eat.'! everything that we eat" is the boast of many proud but iiiiBgulded parents. If the young cliild thrives on sucli a diet, it is in spite of, not because of it, and for cvftry one that thrives at least one other suffei^.
Tiie clean face and hands of in¬ fancy are now too often habitually grimy, and underwear infrequently changed, covers a body ineufflciently bathed.
The importance of regular iiours for eating, .¦ileeplng and attention to Ihe bowels la lost sight of or perhaps not recognized.
The baby has lived through its bot¬ tle days, has successfully cut its teeth, is walking and eating every¬ thing that is offered- -in sliort, is no longer a baby, and like Topsy has only to ''just grow."
If any or all of these statements applies to your care of the grown-up baby, remember that each period of life presents Its own peculiar needs and that the most Important, for the welfare of the future man and wom¬ an. Is that of early childhood. If you do not know wliat these needs are, consult your physician or one of the many treatises on child hygiene, or write to the Division of Child Hy¬ giene, State Departnient of Health at Albany, which will gladly furnish you the Information required.
